Options for dock shelters and seals in Clydebank
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
What this work can involve
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Clydebank the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Clydebank
Which dock shelter suits our Clydebank warehouse?
Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Clydebank?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
Do you repair dock shelters in Clydebank?
Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.
